下一站,幸福 - Autumn Concerto/ Next Stop, Happiness (Xia Yi Zhan)

Hands down this is my favorite Taiwanese drama. 


The first time I read the synopsis on wiki I thought it sounded interesting. After, I started watching it the drama I was totally hooked. Both the main lead became my favorite actors (Vaness & Ady)- hopefully in the near future they'll be cast in a drama together.The cast for this drama was perfect and so was the storyline. I pretty much cried throughout the whole entire drama. (Spoiler Alert!!!) Especially when Vanness Wu regained his memory- that was really painful to watch. I could stop crying when he was torturing Ady An about leaving him. 

Cast:


Vanness Wu as Ren Guang Xi (任光晞)

In my opinion he played his character well- when he was suppose to be sweet he was and when he was "evil" he did a great too. He was he jerk type of guy in the beginning but, when he fell for Liang Mu Cheng- he became the perfect guy. There really are no words that can explain how well he played Ren Guang Xi, I love his character and he expressed his character's emotion and feeling absolutely great. You could feel the pain and bitterness through his words.


Ady An as Liang Mu Cheng (梁慕橙)

Ady's acting is equaled to Vanness's acting. She played the innocent and damsel in distress type of character. At first you'd think that after her character meets Vanness's character she'd be free from all the heart ache and bad luck she seems to be having in her life but no. Her happiness is cut short and she ends up in even more pain and misfortune than before. She did a superb job in acting- there were so many scenes that were heart-throbbing and made me teary eye on her behalf.


Chris Wu as Hua Tuo Ye (花拓也)

For some odd reason I never really liked his character. But it wasn't because of his acting because he did a good job as well. Its sad how he was the first person that got to know and fall in love with Ady's character but she never actually excepted his feeling. He's the brother type of character, though he helped Liang Mu Cheng the most. He never meant more than a brother and best friend to her. Same goes for the kid- he see Chris as only an older brother and never as a father figure. Even though Chris has been there from the beginning. 


Tiffany Hsu as He Ye Qian (何以茜)

At first, I thought that her character was going to be a b****, but she was the totally opposite. Towards the end I felt bad for he since she really did love Vanness Wu's character. She's so caring and nice that I kind of wish they would make a season two for her character- so she'll find some else to love her. With all the love I have for her character the total opposite goes for her dad. Sometimes I wonder if her dad actually adopted her.



Totally recommend everyone to watch this- I've seen it so many times and I still never get bored!



單數絕配- Odd Perfect Match (Dai Shu Jue Pei)

This is my first blog- please give me any feedback and feel free to comment your opinions about it. 


Overall I loved the drama, its cute and classic. The concept of the drama reminds me of Boys Over Flowers but, instead of F4 its between three bestfriends. The storyline is balanced out well and never really gets boring. This is probably one of the best dramas with a shocking twist towards the end. The story was great since there was really never a real antagonist.  I would give it 4/5 stars since it wasn't fully subbed when I was watching it on viki. I would recommend it since it not the type of drama that keeps dragging on and on- also its only 21 episodes.



Cast: 

Godfrey Gao (Momo Love, Volleyball Lover) as Kai Ying Tai

The only reason why I decided to watch this was because of  him. Although it's my first time watching him act, in my opinion he did a great job. Even though the drama wasn't fully sub you could understand what was going on since he expressed his character really well. Can't wait for his new drama Hello Gorgeous.



 Alice Tseng (Scent of Love) as  Huai Zhen

I never actually watched any of her dramas, but she not that bad. Her acting was so-so, but at the same time she never made you feel bored. The scenes that she in with her and Godfrey are good. Her character was really cute and funny. She is the main girl and is like Jandi in Boys Over Flowers.



Chen Zhi Kai (Calling for Love) as Ding Hai Mo

At first I thought I wasn't going to actually like his character because I felt like he was the bad guy but then, I started to feel bad for him. I felt sorry for his character towards the middle of the drama. He plays a really nice and sweet guy- the type of guy that every girl would like as a boyfriend. He's also Ying Tai's bestfriend.


Yang Ming Wei (Volleyball Lover) as Wen Bao Yu

First off, favorite character along with Man Qiao (Death Girl). They just make the cutest and most hilarious couple ever. He's one of Ying Tai's bestfriends and he owns a resturant. His character is so cute and childish at the same time.
